Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) said Friday on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360” that the expulsion of two Black legislators from the Tennessee House of Representatives was part of a larger Republican-led “fascist takeover of our statehouses.”

Cooper said, “I wanted to ask you about what we saw in Tennessee last night. Three legislators took part in a protest on the floor of the statehouse, not with protesters, but on the actual floor. They had a bullhorn which clearly a violation of the rules of decorum. Not something legislators normally do, or would, you know, make sense to have legislators do for the good order of actually hearing people’s arguments? That being said, the punishment for the two of them was to be expelled. How do you see that? Do you think that really was about the rules of decorum or something else?”
Ocasio-Cortez said, “We know that that it absolutely was not.”
She continued, “This is about the fascist takeover of our state houses that Republicans have invested in in the last several decades.”
Republicans may think they won today in Tennessee, but their fascism is only further radicalizing and awakening an earthquake of young people, both in the South and across the nation.

Because demanding the expulsion of a political opponent from a legislative body is only an "assault on democracy" when the wrong side does it.
